I can't wait to see it!!!

We'll see how they do with a newer Japanese vs. older american muscle cars.

I wonder what companies they'll get their parts from.

Maybe the lucky owner will get that 2.0 "beast" crate motor..can't remember the company who makes it.

"Chip Foose and his team create a '95 Honda Civic tuner car. Dylan loves tuner cars and dreams of having a fast, slick Honda with cool paint, a fast motor, racing seats and all the bells and whistles.

Not that girls can't work on cars, but I doubt the host of the show is very mechanically inclined.

James, your thinking of the Payn Tech/DART 2.0 Liter B series block.

It wouldn't surprise me at all.

The foose civic should be an interesting transformation, no doubt. I hope it's not styled too much in the way of Uncle Ben's.

Worst part of most of these shows now is the drama involved. If you remove a part of the car, is it imperative that you toss it halfway across the shop @ approx 50mph? I mean really.

I too grew up watching shadetree mechanic, but as of late my fav car shows are dream car garage, SCR(though kazzer is the biggest tool) and trucks. The odd episode of Horsepower TV is alright as well.

All these makeover shows are not that realistic to me as you can change ANYTHING with large injections of cash.It just depends on how deep your pockets are. Now if you excuse me I have to go water my money tree in order to keep the cheap Scottish side of me happy.

Yes that is the show and I agree that it is a snoozer! It's a half hour show and they have about three different builds in it. DO NOT WATCH IT!

I agree, past CCR's have been really crappy. Though I did watch one on Tuesday that was halfway decent.

anyways, Truck Universe is the worst automotive show ever. that one guy buzz is totally wound up.

the best and the ORIGINAL automotive show is Two Guys Garage/Crank&Chrome/ and originally known as SHADETREE MECHANIC I grew up watching those guys, I *heart* those guys, and I'm glad they're still on TV. They do incredible work and they paved the way for all the auto shows currently on TV. Everyone bow down to the shadetree mechanics y0!

Second best show on TV is Trucks! cuz Stacey David does such incredible work and he's not an idiot and he doesn't pull pranks that make me wanna choke a bitch.
